The God of Power Part 4


Can you really put all of your care upon the Lord?  Is God aware of your needs?

Can you really put all of your care upon the Lord?  Is God aware of your needs?  1 Peter 5:7 declares that God cares for you and is ready to receive your anxieties or trouble, "...casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

When we release our cares and circumstances upon the Lord, we are to let them rest in His hands.  How can you really let go and give your total life into God's care?  We can be helped as we look at Psalm 46:10 which states, "Be still and know that I am God."  In the original Hebrew, the word "still" means to slacken, to cease, to draw toward evening (slow down).

It is also the word "Raphah" which means to mend by stitching, to cure, to repair, to be healed, to thoroughly make whole, and physician.  We must learn how to be still.  We need to get quiet before the Lord and be totally alone with Him in prayer.  Yes, He cares for you and daily looks for you!
